"Red Poppy" by Lynda Cookson
I just put this one up today. The Poppy Collection I did a couple of years ago, whilst working towards a commission painting, remain one of my favourites. They usually pop up where their scarlet petals show up best, in fields of Lavender or Corn. This is what google has to say about what Poppies represent:
"In the spring of 1915, shortly after losing a friend in Ypres, a Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write a now famous poem called 'In Flanders Fields'. After the First World War, the poppy was adopted as a symbol ofRemembrance."
This painting is simply called "Red Poppy" and is a palette knife painting (what else if from me! LOL) on paper, with a white matt board. It's set against a creamy yellow background as if waving around happily in a field of corn.
The unframed measurements are Width 12" by Height 11" (or Width 30 cm x Height 28 cms)

"Spirit Flowers" by Lynda Cookson
Painting no. 17 of 30 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
"Spirit Flowers"
Black Ink on Paper
5.5" x 7.5" (14 cm x 19 cm)
You may often wonder why you see paintings other than palette knife paintings on this website. The members of the Palette Knife Painters group all paint using palette knives most of the time ... but to keep our work fresh, and to keep ourselves fresh, some of us also work in other mediums using other tools as well. I hope you enjoy all that you see.

"Tropical Flowers" by Lynda Cookson
I've recently, because of down-sizing and moving into a much smaller home, destroyed a few of the larger paintings I had in stock. "Tropical Flowers" wasn't one of those! She's hung in my bedroom for a few years now and is going straight back into our new bedroom pretty tout suite!

Thirteen, floral painting by NY artis, Celeste Plowden
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

"Fuschia" by Lynda Cookson
I often take a break in Milly the Motorhome, taking not only oil paints with me, but also inks and watercolors. Well, who knows how the wind will blow!
Having lived with the stunning mini-Fuschia hedges in Ireland for more than a decade, they are, of course, very close to my heart and imprinted on my soul. It was watercolor for this painting.
This "Fuschia" can be purchased by CLICKING HERE or by clicking on either of the images or their titles.

Loves me, Loves me Not....Loves me! by Roxanne Steed
6"x6" oil on archival panel
"What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork."
-Pearl Bailey
Remember when answers came as simply as daisy petals? (Well that was a looooonnng time ago). "Loves me, Loves me not.....Loves me" is a little 6"x6" oil on archival panel, cup-full of daisies. The antique pressed green glass is a gift from my Aunt Jo. It has been wanting to get in on the scene with all the daisies I've been painting! Now, as far as petal-pulling for answers, I'd really like to know; Is Spring Coming, or Is It Not, Is Spring Coming?????
